Parents Across America Book Club with P.L. Thomas, “Beware the Roadbuilders: Literature as Resistance”

This book club is a feature of Parents Across America’s project on the Impact of Poverty and Race on Educational Opportunity.

We’re really excited about our first book club session on March 29 with author P.L. Thomas, called the “conscience of American education” by Diane Ravitch. We’ll be discussing Dr. Thomas’s newest book, “Beware the Roadbuilders,” which takes a social justice lens to many favorite books and genres including James Baldwin, Barbara Kingsolver, Isaac Asimov, zombies and superheroes.

You can try your local library for a free copy or you can just buy the book. It’s $9.99 on Kindle. If you don’t have a Kindle, you can get a free app from Amazon to read a Kindle book on your phone or tablet.

This book club is a feature of our project on the Impact of Poverty and Race on Educational Opportunity. We are looking forward to the discussion.
